The European Automotive Laser Applications 2023 will be held from 7 February to 8 February 2023 in Bad Nauheim, Germany. The participants could explore the latest technical advances and new application possibilities of lasers in all conceivable automotive production processes. Progress in various electromobility-related laser beam welding applications, with their special demands on precision, speed, and mixed-material-weldability - be it in the battery case, battery modules, power electronics, e-motor, or fuel cells - constitute one, but not the only, specific focus of the conference program. Other conference highlights address novel and improved developments concerning beam modulation and beam shaping, the use of artificial intelligence in weld quality control, laser-based process/geometry control, and many more – with altogether 23 technical presentations.
